The Best Air Filter for Protecting Your Loved Ones

MERV 13 filters have superior filtration capabilities, which capture a wide range of airborne particles, including allergens like pollen, dust, smoke, and pet dander. But they even trap most bacteria, and even virus carrying particles to ensure that the air in your home is clean and safe.

During this wildfire season, protect your lungs with a MERV 13 air filter. Wildfires significantly deteriorate air quality, posing serious health risks. The smoke from wildfires contains a complex mixture of gases and fine particles that can penetrate deep into the lungs and even enter the bloodstream.

Invest in MERV 13 filters to provide your family with the highest level of protection and peace of mind.

When you get up to a MERV 13 air filter, you’re at the top of the range for household filters.

While you can still choose to use a higher rated filter in your home, when you cross over to MERV 14 rated filters and above, you enter a category of filters used in most hospitals.

If your goal is to have the best air quality possible, consider a MERV 13 or higher rated air and furnace filter.

However, if you don’t need the power of a MERV 13 filter, there are cheaper options. In addition to the higher cost of a MERV 13 air filter, you may also need to change it more often. Since it can trap more particles, it may reach capacity sooner.

Does MERV 13 Filter Out Mold Spores?

MERV 13 filters can be used for residential and commercial spaces. They can also be used in medical facilities.

To continue the trend of a healthy HVAC system, you’ll want to change your MERV 13 air filter on a regular basis. Since you don’t see your HVAC filter and may not notice signs that replacement is near, you may want to set reminders to help you remember to change the filter regularly.

How Often Should You Replace A MERV 13 Air Filter?

Recommendations for how often to replace a MERV 13 air filter can vary.

The frequency is especially dependent on how often you run your HVAC system.

The more your HVAC system runs, the more frequently you’ll need to change your filter.

In addition, the environment can impact how often your air filter requires replacement.

For example if the environment is smokey or you have pets that shed or have loose dander, you will likely need to change your filter more often. Allowing your air filter to remain in use while dirty can reduce the quality of air you breath and cause your HVAC system to work harder.

Overall, most can use the recommendation to change an air filter every 3-6 months.

To determine what’s appropriate for you and your space, check your air filter on a regular basis to see what it looks like. This can be very telling, expert or not.
